Thanks to him we are still in cl spot though.
According to what? Show me any stat besides clean sheets to back up this point.

DDG'S two best options for the
pass are Maguire and I think that's Sabitzer.
The problem was not the choice of pass, but the quality of the pass.
Re sign De Gea. Give Maguire to whoever will take him and sign 2 more decent CB's. Slow, shit defending has been our most glaring weakness for years.
DDG getting so much shit but we could have had the best keeper in history tonight and wouldn’t win that game, we had another ten outfield players and couldn’t create a scoring chance in 90 minutes
I didn't see anything wrong with the quality of pass. It just never should have happened
Really? It was slow and behind where Maguire was moving to, meaning Maguire had to check his run and by the time it got to him he was completely shut down. A quicker pass into Maguire's stride would still have been dangerous but nowhere near as bad.I didn't see anything wrong with the quality of pass. It just never should have happened
Can they not both be a bit crap?
How are we in a CL spot thanks to a player who is statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in the league this season? Any metric. Shot stopping is below average for 5 years now when you take it all into account. Passing out from the back average at best. Claiming crosses he is literally targeted by every single team that plays us. Sweeping, well we saw how well that went today.Thanks to him we are still in cl spot though.

No he hasn't not for long time now yes he occassionally makes great saves but so does every other keeper , combined with his other limitations if Murtough extends his contract he should be first one out of the door once Club is sold .I think he's earned (and keeps earning) enough credit with his shot stopping to not be the top most priority for replacement, though we would need someone who's miles better with the ball at his feet long term.
I think the issue is - him and Maguire bring out the worst of each other and our defense and are simply incompatible together. Don't think Maguire has ever earned any credit at all to keep his spot. I'd rather play a youth academy player instead.
Goals change games and quality players affect others in terms of performances. Our players are playing in isolation from each other so yeah the best keeper in his history would have significantly improved our chancesDifficult to know. Goals change games. That early goal knocked our confidence and also pumped up the opposition and the crowd. If we’d slowed the game down successfully in the first 15 minutes and took the sting out, it could have panned out differently.
He's done this in so many big games over the last few years I've lost count. And yet there are people here who cream themselves because he makes the odd great save against average opposition while you just know in a big game he's going to mess up.Had a massive hand in conceding a goal after 8 mins and right after half time. Massive momentum killer, which swung in their favour.
We didn't look threatening and that's partly because Sevilla had it handed to them on a plate.
Those many seasons were many seasons ago.He’s our best player for many seasons. But we need to treat him like someone who is retiring. He served us superbly most of the time. Time to say goodbye, unfortunately.
We just need Sevilla game to the list of "ignored games" and we can keep pretending he's having a good season.‘Since the start of last season, according to Opta, no Premier League player has made more errors leading to an opposition goal in all competitions than De Gea’ - BBC

Its not like this is the first time he shat the bed?We will find it difficult to replace him this next season. We have more pressing priorities, so I can see him as first choice for another season or 2, depending on finances and takeover situation.
He's a fantastic decent to the club but more and more such performances is a very worrying sign.
Having said that, Varane, Martinez and shaw playing in front of you v/s having Maguire is a huge huge drop off and would make any gk nervous
Ten hag would lose his job if he is still here as no 1 next season .We will find it difficult to replace him this next season. We have more pressing priorities, so I can see him as first choice for another season or 2, depending on finances and takeover situation.

If the alternative if playing without a keeper then yes.Thanks to him we are still in cl spot though.

Jose.He was a great passer when we signed him though. It's what he was best known for at the time, to the point where he got the nickname Van der Gea at Atlético.
Somehow that passing ability completely disappeared over the years.
